Voiced by an 8-year old Kenyan boy called Eugene Muchiri, Monkey has been described by Claudia Lloyd, the head of animation at Tiger Aspect, as "our little hero" - and the very fact that this cheeky monkey introduces and ends every episode means that he's become one of the most loved characters in whole show.
The Up and Down and All Around Monkey includes an in-built sensor that cleverly recognises Monkey's orientation (i.e. up or down). This in turn, enables him to respond differently, depending on that orientation. Monkey's feet, hands and tail can grip and hold onto all kinds of things around the house - whether that be a shelf, computer or anything else you can attach him to!
The toy complements the show's ongoing theme of transformation nicely - as Monkey's very own episode will ask the question: "Why does Monkey swings from trees?" Obviously fans of the show will be able to immediately answer "to escape the 'snap snap' of Crocodile!"... but this Up and Down and All Around Monkey toy will also allow fans of Tinga Tinga Tales to act out this story for hours on end, long after Monkey's episode has finished.
Fans of the show should also look out for plush toys of Monkey which come in either a small 15cm version or a larger 25cm version which also has inbuilt sounds. Many of the other characters have been turned into plush toys too. That includes Hippo, Elephant, Lion, Tortoise and Tickbird.
